Chapter 6 Chapter Six: A Trip to the Provincial City

At 1:50 p.m., Jia Shizhen hurried to the office. Just as he was in front of the Organization Department building, a burst of noise reached his ears. Looking back, he saw a bald fat man arguing with a thin man.It seemed that the noise came from the administrative building of the city government. At this time, the two had already quarreled in front of Jia Shizhen, and the bald man said, "What's the quarrel? Secretary-General Wang has already said that he asked me to come back and deal with it. If you want me to deal with it, I will deal with you." The thin man said, "Why are you dragging me to see Secretary-General Wang if you have the skills to deal with it?"

At this time, the two looked at Jia Shizhen at the same time, and the thin and thin man had an idea and said, "Just happened to meet Minister Jia. Minister Jia is in charge of cadres. Let's ask Minister Jia to comment." The bald fat man said, "If you want to criticize you, I don't have time." Then he turned around and left. The little man stopped him and said, "The head of the organization is in charge of cadres. Let the head see what you, the director, have done." Jia Shizhen couldn't figure out which unit they belonged to for a while, and stared at them for a long time. The bald man, apart from the bald head, had thinning hair that was neatly white at the root. Arriving at Jia Shizhen, she looked a bit embarrassed.Jia Shizhen said, "Which unit do you work for and what do you do?"

The thin man said, "Minister Jia, you just came here. Our unit is a well-known dilapidated unit in the city government compound, and it's all led by this top leader." Jia Shizhen said, "Which unit is it?" The thin man said, "City History Office." Jia Shizhen looked at the two of them, recalling the name of the leader of the agency in his mind.The bald fat man said, "Minister Jia, my surname is Tang, and my name is Tang Jianzhong. It's like this..." Jia Shizhen couldn't remember for a while. At this time, the people working in the agency stood far away to watch the excitement. Jia Shizhen frowned, and suddenly felt that Director Tang was too shameful, and he went around commenting with his subordinates. Such a leader is really ridiculous. So he stretched his face and said, "Director Tang, are you the head of the unit?"

Tang Jianzhong nodded and said, "Yes." Jia Shizhen looked at the thin man and said, "What about you?" "I'm Fang Yaguang from the Yearbook Club under the Shi Zhi Office," said the thin man. Jia Shizhen turned to Tang Jianzhong and said, "Old Tang, I didn't criticize you. You are a dignified director of Shi Zhi's office, and you are considered to be at the top level! You are arguing with a comrade in a subordinate unit, and you are criticizing everywhere. What are you criticizing?" , do you still look like a leading cadre?" Then he said to them: "Go, go to my office, I want to hear what you are doing."

The two followed Jia Shizhen to the organization department, but Jia Shizhen didn't take him to his office, but asked the office director to open the door of the small meeting room, and asked the head of the cadre section to take notes. Jia Shizhen said, "Okay! Which one of you will speak first?" Fang Yaguang said: "He is the leader, let him speak first!" Jia Shizhen looked at Tang Jianzhong, and saw him touching the top of his bare head. He didn't know why for a long time. At this time, Fang Yaguang said, "Minister Jia, since he won't say anything, then I will. Let me tell you what happened today." Fang Ya Guang said that he took out a thick "Xiyu City Yearbook" published that year from his bag, opened the title page, pointed to the list on it and said, "Minister Jia, our yearbook agency was originally managed by the Academy of Social Sciences, and later It was assigned to the Shi Zhi Office. At that time, Director Tang was transferred from the Propaganda Department to be the top leader. He took a fancy to my position as the president of the small yearbook club, so he demoted me to the vice president, and he was also the president. The legal representative. Then he took away the financial rights of the yearbook agency. After no research last year and no report to the organization department and the personnel bureau, he personally decided to hire the driver of the yearbook agency, a veteran soldier with only a junior high school education, as the vice president. His purpose is to make this pilot fight against me. You see, the name of this pilot was printed on the Xiyu Yearbook just published this year. He became the vice president of the Yearbook Club without writing a single word, and Without our consent, the materials we handed over to the publishing house were tampered with, and they were actually published! I went to the publishing house, and the publishing house said that it was Director Tang who asked for it.”

Jia Shizhen looked at the list printed on it, and sure enough it was the president Tang Jianzhong, the vice presidents Xu Yibang and Fang Yaguang.Jia Shizhen asked: "Director Tang, is this Xu Yibang the driver?" Tang Jianzhong nodded, but didn't speak, he was at a loss in embarrassment. Jia Shizhen said: "Although compiling the yearbook is not a creation, although it is not a university study, it also needs people with certain knowledge. You can tell the truth, is this driver qualified for the writing work of the yearbook? Is he qualified for the position of vice president?"

Just as Fang Yaguang was about to speak, he was stopped by Jia Shizhen. He said, "I asked Director Tang, and Director Tang, did you and this Xu Yibang participate in the compilation of this yearbook?" Tang Jianzhong began to sweat on his head, shook his head first, then nodded, at this time Fang Yaguang said: "Minister Jia, the president of the yearbook is an administrative position, and in business, he is the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief. I am the editor-in-chief, and in the past, I signed the yearbook to decide how to publish it, but we handed over the manuscript to the publishing house for this yearbook, but he, the director, signed it and published it."

Jia Shizhen asked, "Director Tang, is that so?" Tang Jianzhong nodded, touched the sweat on the top of his head with his hand, and said hesitantly after a while: "Now that the public institutions have been reformed, the person in charge of the unit has implemented an employment system. Of course, anyone can be hired." Jia Shizhen said: "Director Tang, what you said is wrong. According to what you said, if you were made the head of the Provincial Party Committee Organization, the director of surgery was transferred to be the head of the finance bureau! It makes no sense, you let the driver be the vice president. Why not let him be your director? What ability do you have to govern?"

Fang Yaguang said: "Minister Jia, he has a lot of problems. We hope to audit him. In fact, he has already passed the age. The graduates of the class of 1968, by 2005, had three Eighteen years ago, college students in the past rarely graduated at the age of twenty-four or five. If you can't do things that are not worthwhile, you will stretch out your hands to make money everywhere, and the impact will be extremely bad!" "Okay, I don't have time to listen to you now. I'm going to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee for a meeting. When I come back, I'll learn about your Shi Zhi's affairs. First, I will use your Shi Zhi to do a pilot project. Department-level cadres are open to public elections." As Jia Shizhen said, he stood up and said to Xiao Liu, the deputy chief of the cadre section who was recording: "Go to the archives immediately, check Director Tang's age, and tell me when I come back. If you hide too much, you must deal with this kind of unhealthy tendencies seriously. The younger you report your age, the higher your academic qualifications. If you really hide your age too much, you will not only have to retire immediately, but your retirement salary will also be chased forward. The wages will be deducted. The central leadership comrades have long pointed out that the life tenure of leading cadres will be abolished. A director of the History and Records Office is so bold that there is no party discipline and state law!"

Jia Shizhen looked at Tang Jianzhong, and said, "Director Tang, don't worry, I don't mean you. If there is anything that I can't figure out, we can exchange ideas when I come back." Jia Shizhen looked at his watch, it was past three o'clock, and hurried downstairs. Sitting in the car, Jia Shizhen was still thinking about Tang Jianzhong from Shi Zhi's office. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the reform of the current cadre and personnel system was imminent. For a unit like Shi Zhi's office that does not undertake economic tasks, with such a leader, How the business of the unit develops, how the masses work, and how they survive.I don't know who recommended such a person to a leadership position.Now he suddenly remembered that once by chance, he heard a deputy director of the municipal government talk about Director Tang, saying that at such an old age, he transferred a lesbian from the research office of the municipal government to be promoted to secretary The section chief, the two soon had an ambiguous relationship, which caused a lot of discussion in the office and had a very bad influence.He also said that he transferred someone from the soy sauce factory to the printing center, and lost two million yuan within two years.Jia Shizhen had heard it at the time, and he thought that he was neither the director of the audit bureau nor the secretary of the discipline inspection committee, so why bother with so many things?

But today I happened to meet this Tang Jianzhong. Thinking about it now, the comments I heard before were not groundless.Perhaps because of his professional relationship as the head of the organization, he was angry for a while, or for some other reason, it was obviously inappropriate to say in front of Tang Jianzhong and Fang Yaguang that he would choose leading cadres in the Shi Zhi Office.Tell Tang Jianzhong in this unknown, can't he be the director?Based on his impression of Tang Jianzhong, this person's quality is too poor, maybe he can do anything. The more Jia Shizhen thought about it, the more worried he became, so he took out his mobile phone and called Gao Xingming: "Hello, Vice Minister Gao? On the way to the provincial capital, I just received Director Tang from the Shizhi Office and Fang Yaguang from the Yearbook Office in the office. There was a big conflict between them. Director Tang may have reached retirement age long ago. Please bring the officials with you. Xiao Liu from the department, go to the Shi Zhi Office and announce a few disciplines. Whether it is economic expenditures or the appointment and dismissal of cadres, you must not make arbitrary decisions. Important economic expenditures or adjustments to cadres must first be reported to the city government supervisor Leadership and the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee.” After the phone call, Jia Shizhen felt calmer. The car was speeding on the highway, and Jia Shizhen felt a little tired. She leaned back on the back seat and wanted to close her eyes to rest for a while. Suddenly, the phone rang. When she answered the phone, it was Monday Lan: "Hey... it's me, I... I'm on my way to the provincial capital now. Is there anything wrong? Oh... I'm afraid it will be around six o'clock, okay, I see." After hanging up the phone, Jia Shizhen thought of calling his wife again. When Lingling heard that he was already on his way back to the provincial capital, she felt excited. After all, the husband and wife had been separated for more than three months. She said that she would go home and prepare dinner immediately. Jia Shizhen said he would He had to report for a meeting first, because there was still something to do in the evening, and the leaders and colleagues of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee had to meet. Lingling told him to go home early and not to drink. Ever since Jia Shizhen arrived in Xiyu, for some unknown reason, she suddenly became another person, and even her emotions became numb. His wife, daughter, and family seemed to be getting stranger gradually.He leaned on the back seat, feeling a little tired, and seemed to be in a trance, yes!Which leading cadre who communicates with other places like him does not go home for three months, and it is not a war year. No one will let him go home, but I don’t know why. There are weekends. Jia Shizhen closed his eyes, but he didn't feel sleepy. Suddenly, Zhou Yilan's figure appeared in front of him. Thinking of Zhou Yilan's phone call just now, he felt that a great change had taken place between him and her. In those days of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, He always misses her, he sympathizes with her misfortune, and hopes that she will be happy. Since Zhou Yilan compared them to "The Second Handshake", he feels that the friendship between them has changed a lot. Sometimes I even wish I could give her something.She was so lonely and so unfortunate.Thinking of seeing her soon, he felt somewhat excited.But soon, he defeated himself with reason, and he wanted to bury his feelings for her in his heart. When I arrived in the provincial capital, it was already past six o'clock in the evening, and the government offices had already closed, so Jia Shizhen had no choice but to go directly to the meeting place. When I arrived at the hotel, I saw so many colleagues from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. The situation in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee is so cordial.Bu Yanyu pulled him aside and said, "Brother, you haven't returned to the provincial capital in Xiyu for so long, but everyone has received a lot of news about you!" Jia Shizhen said, "What news?" Bu Yanyu said: "What news, you really set the fire on fire. I have seen all those paintings, and most people in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee have seen them. I dare say that it must be what you did, and it is very suitable for you. My personality! Dude, do it! I support you, the current cadre and personnel system cannot be reformed. Now only the reform of the political and economic system is emphasized, and in my opinion, the reform of the cadre and personnel system is more important.” Jia Shizhen asked, "How is Minister Qian? Will he support me?" Bu Yanyu said: "I think it will! He is also talking about the reform of the cadre and personnel system in the conference and small meetings, but it is not clear how to reform the law." Jia Shizhen said: "There is no ready-made plan for the reform of the cadre and personnel system. Everyone can explore it in practice, and each place has its own specific situation. The pace cannot be like an army drill, where so many people walk in unison." "Well, you guy, you haven't been back for such a long time, you have changed, and you don't want your wife anymore?" Bu Yanyu said, "Be careful, don't take power and smuggle emotionally too? Lingling is a great beauty Woolen cloth!" "Hey, where are you thinking, I, Jia, is that kind of person!" Jia Shizhen said, "You don't know, to be honest, I don't even know which day is a weekend, but let me tell you what I'm doing now, I I really can't tell." "What the hell, look at those communication cadres, they send them back by special car every weekend. They live really happily. A small break between husband and wife is better than a newlywed, but if you leave for such a long time, you will be suffocated to death!" "Well, you Bu Yanyu! You've learned badly too!" When the two entered the dining room, Bu Yanyu suddenly said in a low voice, "Shizhen, eat first, and I will tell you something later." Jia Shizhen asked, "What's the matter?" Bu Yanyu said: "About the bad news about Lu Yongxiang, the later chairman of the Provincial Federation of Disabled Persons. Why does this unit always encounter such a leader? The masses are really in trouble!" Jia Shizhen said: "This is another issue of the cadre and personnel system. To tell you the truth, that Wang Xuexi, the discipline inspection team leader Zhao Xueren, and the later chairman Lu Yongxiang are indeed of poor quality. This also fully shows that the cadres recommended by individual leaders It is too one-sided, or some leaders know more or less well, but they have to deal with the positions of these cadres. They know that their quality is poor, but they have no rules to follow. It depends on a few people. Otherwise, why do they always put them in these units? What? But, no matter what unit, the power is the same.” "You don't know, that Lu Yongxiang is not as good as the original chairman Wang Xuexi. The masses say he is a swinger in life and a hooligan in politics." Before Bu Yanyu finished speaking, Jia Shizhen said in a low voice, "I'll talk about it tonight." At this time, comrades from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee came over. During dinner, several deputy ministers and directors of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee came. Jia Shizhen felt very cordial, as if returning to her mother's house, she didn't care about eating, everyone asked questions, and there were always endless topics, but money The minister was not present, and Jia Shizhen always seemed to have something on his mind.After dinner, when Bu Yanyu wanted to talk to him, Jia Shizhen dragged him into his car and returned home quickly.Daughter Lanlan hadn't seen her father for several months and kept pestering him. Jia Shizhen asked Lingling to take Lanlan away, and he and Bu Yanyu went to the study. For more than three months, it is too short for life, but Bu Yanyu started to talk about what happened in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee as if he had been separated for thirty years. Here comes the matter. Everyone knows that Wang Xuexi was brought down by the masses two years in advance when he was under the retirement age. No one knows who recommended Lu Yongxiang to be the president. Who is Lu Yongxiang?Minister Qian's people's letters are probably full of letters. In a blink of an eye, he is almost at retirement age. In order to stay on stage for two more years, Lu Yongxiang almost went to the point of using any means.Once, he came to look for Minister Qian, you don’t know, he came out and hugged Minister Qian’s arm, he didn’t look like Minister Qian’s son, but rather Minister Qian’s grandson.I don't know what he gave Minister Qian, but Minister Qian treated him lukewarm.After he left, Minister Qian said, what Lu Yongxiang made him look like, I was wrong at the beginning.Bu Yanyu went on to say that Minister Qian had listened to some treacherous minister and eagerly let him replace Wang Xuexi, but he was not as good as Wang Xuexi.Minister Qian said that in the final analysis, it is still a matter of the cadre system. Relying on one person to recommend leading cadres is either related to relationships or personal likes and dislikes. No one can avoid the one-sidedness of the selection.The current cadre system not only has disadvantages in inspection, selection, and appointment, but also has problems in cadre management.A leading cadre who has been promoted to a leadership position will have to work until he is sixty unless he commits a crime.There are still absurd things in the province. Some cunning people, like Lu Yongxiang, run to Minister Qian every three days. After hearing their nonsense, Minister Qian actually got him to be a deputy director of some committee of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference. He doesn't retire, doesn't work at the CPPCC, loses his position in the original unit, and drives that car every day, pretending to go to work, but has nothing to do.It is said that 80% of people have stopped eating watermelon rinds when they are facing each other. Do you think such a person still has a human touch?The Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department and the Provincial Party Committee don't care about it. It can be seen how far behind this cadre management mechanism is?What do you think these department-level cadres do?When Lu Yongxiang was about to step down, there was a big disturbance when he was reforming the organization.Probably also in response to a sentence in the "Bible": "God wants you to perish, and first makes you crazy." Lu Yongxiang carried out organizational reforms in the Federation of Disabled People with great fanfare, and first announced that the director was rotating.However, only two division chiefs were rotated. I don't know if he didn't dare to mess with those division chiefs, or those division chiefs didn't listen to his command. After several months of work, there was no result.Then it was announced that the deputy director will be hired by competition. According to the rules, there are strict rules for the job competition. For example, if there are three people applying for a certain position, as long as the first few steps are carried out legally, one of these three people must be selected in the end, but Lu Yongxiang Self-assessment, because the ideal person in his mind was not approved by the masses, so he adopted the method of procrastination, who knew that the procrastination lasted for a year, and finally ended hastily, causing the masses to complain and sue everywhere. Jia Shizhen said that from the perspective of the two presidents of the Provincial Federation of Disabled Persons, it fully shows that our existing cadre system can no longer continue. You know that Wang Xuexi was a director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee who helped him change his age. He took advantage of the loopholes and recommended him to the position of vice-departmental-level president. Later, the Federation of Disabled Persons was promoted to the main-department level, so he naturally took a ride to the main-department level. busy.But because such a person does not have the quality of a department-level leader at all, he was kicked out by the masses after only eight months of working.This is because Minister Qian knew him well and got him down. There are probably some things that only the director and Wang Xuexi know well. Wang Xuexi was admitted to the hospital at that time. Bu Yanyu also said that according to the people's letters, Lu Yongxiang's problems must be much bigger than Wang Xuexi's. The organization department has removed his party secretary and chairman. I don't know what the discipline inspection committee and audit department will do. If you don't check the general problems, you can only wait for the audit.Jia Shizhen said let him go!He is not in his position now. Bu Yanyu asked, what is going on with you now?The letter from the people has reached Minister Qian. Jia Shizhen said, "I'm not afraid. I don't take bribes, and I don't engage in women. I can't be sloppy in my work. I will resolutely reform the cadre and personnel system within the scope of my power, and gradually implement open, fair, and fair selection of leading cadres."My approach is to implement cultural examinations in the first pass. It cannot be recommended by a small number of people in the first pass as in some places. It is still unreasonable to recommend five candidates for the defense from dozens or even hundreds of people who signed up.Who are those recommenders, and why do they recommend them?It is nothing more than personal relationship and personal impression. There is no specific standard to reflect fairness and reasonableness. The first procedure is to adopt the method of cultural examination. Everyone is equal before the score. From high to low scores, the top three will enter the next round. Bu Yanyu said that such a so-called public election is actually a woman with small feet walking, which cannot reflect the principles of openness, fairness, and justice. Jia Shizhen said that we have publicly selected eight regular-level cadres in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and the cultural examination is the first pass. However, I found that this kind of adult examination has a serious problem of cheating. I must make up my mind to rectify this unhealthy trend. If someone succeeds, it’s neither merit nor fair competition. I hit a snag in this exam. The daughter-in-law of Zhou Xiaoliang, the deputy secretary of Xiyu’s original local committee, is a middle school teacher. She helped candidates cheat, and I caught her on the spot. I still don't know how to end it! Bu Yanyu hesitated for a moment and said, this matter has already been brought to the Department of Education, and Minister Qian also knows about it. Jia Shizhen smiled and said, let's make a fuss, I don't believe he can call white into black! Bu Yanyu said, you should take the initiative to tell Minister Qian about some things. Jia Shizhen said, no, he didn't ask me, so I can't take the initiative to say it. At this moment, the phone rang, and Jia Shizhen looked at his watch. It was almost ten o'clock. Bu Yanyu left the study with gestures. While answering the phone, Jia Shizhen said to Bu Yanyu, "Let's talk tomorrow, and I will answer the phone." Jia Shizhen held the phone, Said: "Hey... Yilan, what's the matter?" "Shizhen, I'm sorry, when are you free?" Zhou Yilan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Shizhen, I know it's too late, but I have something to tell you." Jia Shizhen said: "I have a meeting tomorrow, I'll call you when I'm free, okay?" Zhou Yilan hung up the phone without saying a word, Jia Shizhen was thinking about Zhou Yilan, but seeing that it was past ten o'clock at night, she quietly went into the bedroom, Lingling was half lying on the bed watching TV, and ignored him , Jia Shizhen went up to hug her, she turned her face and said: "You have been away for more than three months, and you have almost forgotten about this family and me and my daughter. If you don't have a meeting, you still can't think of going home. The cadres who communicate are not You alone, everyone goes home to spend weekends, only you have become a revolutionary!" Jia Shizhen said with a smile on her face: "It's also my fault that I am too devoted to my work. There is nothing I can do. It is easy to change the country and the nature is hard to change!" Lingling said: "You are just an organization minister, how much power do you have? You still imagine that the secretaries of the municipal party committee and the provincial party committee are so powerful that you can not listen to the secretary, mayor, and deputy secretary?" Jia Shizhen went to bed and said: "Lingling, you are right, let's not talk about this now, it is already late, go to bed!" The two lay down on the bed. Jia Shizhen hadn't had sex with his wife for more than three months. Of course he wanted to get into the role as soon as possible at this moment, but both of them were in this mood, and they couldn't adjust to this state.Lingling turned off the light, and Jia Shizhen held his wife tightly in his arms. Although he was thinking about it in his head, there was no passion in his body.After a while Lingling turned her back to him, but Jia Shizhen didn't feel sleepy.In the past when they were in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, the two commuted to and from get off work every day, and almost every night they had to devote themselves to doing something pleasant.How come the husband and wife have been separated for so long, not only can't find the feeling, but even have no passion at all. Recalling his work and life these days, he is thinking about work day and night with all his strength, which is completely different from when he was in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. into two roles.As for his relationship, he didn't have any abnormal behavior. Although Zhou Yilan called him and even went to Xiyu once, there was no deviant behavior between them. Thinking about Jia Shizhen, she became a little confused.When he woke up, he didn't even know that he was sleeping at home. What happened in his dream just now made his heart beat.He was running with a woman holding hands on the grass, he caught up with the woman, and the two of them hugged each other, feeling their passion rising, and then they undressed on the grass, the woman looked a bit like his wife Lingling and a bit like Zhou Yilan , Now her mind is gradually clear, and a rush of madness is still rising in her body. Unconsciously, she hugged his wife and tore off his wife's underwear. Lingling pushed him in a daze and said, "It's midnight, don't let people sleep." She kissed her body wildly, making Lingling's heart itch, and Jia Shizhen went crazy on his wife like a madman. The provincial capital in early spring is full of thriving and vibrant scenes.The sycamore trees on both sides of the street are lush and green, the gardens beside the road are full of flowers, and the scattered buildings are hidden in the shade. Jia Shizhen looked at the provincial capital that had been separated for more than three months, feeling a lot of emotion.He has lived in the provincial capital for eight years, and he doesn't seem to have paid much attention to the new look of this ancient capital.Only now did he realize how beautiful the provincial capital is!What a strange animal man is. When you are in it, you turn a blind eye to it and don't feel its beauty. When you stay away from it, you will be reluctant to leave it. The provincial capital is more lively and bustling than Xiyu. Sitting in the car, Jia Shizhen watched the rushing vehicles and people, and his thoughts went back in time.In the eight years in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, he has grown from an ordinary worker to a cadre division chief. He has played different roles, even covered up shortcomings and mistakes for some cadres, and helped some people to be promoted.Whenever he thinks of these things he has done, he is always a little uneasy.Even, I feel a little ashamed of the lofty name of the Organization Department, ashamed of so many cadres and people in the province.The personnel power of the Organization Department is really too great. If the cadre personnel system is not reformed, it will really fail.It wasn't until the car entered the gate of the hotel that he withdrew his boiling thoughts. During breakfast, Jia Shizhen still didn't see Minister Qian, and Minister Qian arrived in a hurry until before the meeting started.The central content of the meeting was to study the long-form instructions of the central leaders in the research report of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee on the implementation of the pre-appointment publicity system for cadres in Shuyang County, Jiangsu Province.After the two-hour meeting, there was still an hour of discussion in the morning, and Minister Qian called on Jia Shizhen to speak. Jia Shizhen said: “In August 1997, Qiu He, then Secretary of the Shuyang County Party Committee, after experiencing a thrilling anti-corruption struggle, began to consider how to truly eliminate official corruption from the system. Based on this heavy thinking, In Shuyang County, Qiu He took the lead in promoting the pre-appointment publicity system for cadres in the whole country. After several layers of screening, the age, education background, personal resume, political achievements and positions to be promoted of the cadres to be promoted in the organization were reported to the public through the media. Public announcement, social supervision is welcome. This is a great progress in the reform of the cadre personnel system. I have repeatedly studied and thought about these issues. The issue of the right to participate in the process of appointing cadres; public recommendation and direct election solves the problem of the masses' specific right to choose cadres' appointments; The problem of mass participation in the whole process of a cadre from pre-assignment to post-assignment solves the disadvantages that cadres can only be appointed but cannot be removed, and there is only entrance and no exit, and the whole process is carried out under the participation and supervision of the masses.” At this time, Minister Qian interjected and said: "Comrade Shizhen said it well. Now it seems that our cadre management in the past was a bit like an economic system. We implemented a planned economy. The right to appoint cadres was in the hands of a few leaders. Leading cadres The implementation of the plan to allocate and promote the target, the power is too concentrated, so the work of cadres must also go to the market. The selection, inspection, and appointment of cadres should be operated under the sun, produced according to market needs, and let the market adjust. This is the reform of the cadre and personnel system in the future. general direction." Jia Shizhen continued to speak: "Comrades, all of us here are comrades working in the organization department. I think that the reform of the cadre and personnel system is not only what I just mentioned. First of all, we must break the framework of a few people's recommendation in the selection of candidates. Individuals who are in power recommend objects that are necessarily personal likes and dislikes, one-sided, and subjective. The initiative of recommending cadres must be given to the masses. Only the masses can truly understand the virtues and talents of those around them. Another drawback of selecting cadres in the past is Inspection, many of our comrades here have personally inspected cadres, how effective is that kind of inspection? With two people from the Organization Department in such a short period of time, they found so few designated people to talk to, so how many Can a page truly reflect the overall situation of a cadre, and reflect the true performance of a cadre over the past few years? What's more, have any leaders read those pages of inspection materials? Only the people there really understand the situation of the cadres there, but How do leaders know? Leaders rely entirely on their own impressions. Therefore, I think that the first point of the important link in the selection of cadres should be a unified cultural examination. Publicly, the public will participate in the public defense in the future. Finally, the public will be announced to the public through the media when deciding on the appointment of candidates. Finally, all members of the party committee will vote by secret ballot.” As soon as Jia Shizhen’s speech ended, Zhou Xi, director of the Research Office of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, stood up. He raised many different views on Jia Shizhen’s speech. Before publicizing the issue, it is not decided by a few leaders who will implement the opinions raised by the masses.No matter how many problems are reported by the masses, the leaders can turn a blind eye, and one reason can be denied. Then, the director of the office also raised a question, what will happen to the cadres of the organization department after public elections are implemented?Jia Shizhen said that cadres in the organization department should not enjoy special privileges, and should participate in public elections like comrades in other departments.His speech immediately met with strong opposition from everyone.Until lunch time, the venue still could not calm down. During the group discussion in the afternoon, Minister Qian brought Jia Shizhen into the room, and Jia Shizhen briefly reported on the work after going to Xiyu.Minister Qian said: "Shizhen, there are some things that can't be rushed, and you have to be more cautious. For example, with regard to the matter of Zhou Xiaoliang, the old deputy secretary of the prefectural committee, he has now reported the matter to the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. The deputy secretary called I'll take care of this matter. At the meeting just now, Director Qiao of the Department of Education also called me, and Zhou Xiaoliang probably reported to the Department of Education." Jia Shizhen couldn't hold back anymore, and said angrily: "Minister Qian, I hope the province will send an investigation team to Xiyu to find out the matter. It was Jia Shizhen who made the mistake, and I can deal with it as I want. I can't figure it out. , Why is this world so indistinguishable between right and wrong, black and white are reversed? Zhou Xiaoliang’s daughter-in-law, as a proctor teacher, helped candidates cheat. That night, the couple asked me to ask the teacher for their crimes. They refused to admit that they helped the candidates cheat. Zhou Xiaoliang called me personally. Explain that the next day when I went to his door with the director of the Municipal Education Bureau and the principal of No. 1 Middle School, he turned black and made us look bad. Minister Qian, in this way, his daughter-in-law did the right thing, but we were wrong!" Qian Guoqu said: "He said that the daughter-in-law didn't help cheat at all, but that you deliberately made things difficult for her, trying to make a fool of her." Jia Shizhen blushed with anxiety, and said loudly, "Minister Qian, I've never met them before, and I have no complaints or hatred. Why should I say that she helped candidates cheat?" "Yeah! I'm thinking about that too." "In addition, Minister Qian, before Zhou Xiaoliang's daughter-in-law helped cheat, Zhou Xiaoliang came to me to promote his son Zhou Senlin to the deputy director of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau. I explained to him that the city is planning to reform the cadre and personnel system, but he refused to listen to the explanation. Walk away, where have you seen such a veteran cadre?" Minister Qian remained silent, and Jia Shizhen didn't know what Minister Qian was thinking at this moment.After a while, Minister Qian said to himself: "How can this old comrade do this?" "Minister Qian, if this matter continues, it will not benefit the Zhou family, because at that time his daughter-in-law helped cheat and the TV station recorded the whole process. At the same time, there is also the answer written by her to the candidates." Jia Shizhen said, " Both items are in my hands. I will make a copy as soon as I go back and send it to you by express mail. At the same time, I also hope that the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Department of Education will organize a joint investigation team to find out the truth. Regarding this matter , I thought it was a trivial matter, as long as the person involved can recognize the mistake, learn from the lesson, and pay attention to correcting it in the future. Now it seems that it is impossible not to deal with it, and it must be dealt with severely and strictly, otherwise the adult exam will be strictly disciplined in the future. Besides, the next step we It is necessary to openly select leading cadres at the county and department levels, and those who take the exam are all department-level and deputy-division-level leading cadres." "Shizhen, hold your breath." Minister Qian said, "I heard that some comrades in the Organization Department of your municipal party committee also have ideas." Jia Shizhen said: "There are ideas for sure, because this will inevitably touch the vested interests of some people, such as the leadership's power will be reduced. People like Gao Ming, who has been the deputy head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee for so many years, actually The power of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee is mainly in his hands. Now that the cadre and personnel system needs to be reformed, the power is too small, so there are naturally opinions. There is also Zhang Jingyuan, the head of the cadre section of the agency. I asked him to sign the name of the inspector on the past inspection materials ，有一部分材料始终不签。现在我已经意识到，对于组织部门的机制，不彻底改革实在不行了，所以我们把八个中层干部全部拿出来面向市直机关和各县区委组织部公开招聘。而且今后组织部的干部不再享有特权，到了科长的位置上就提拔为副县处级，这显然是一种特权。为什么其他部门的同志就没有这种特权？今后在西臾地区，市、县区委组织部的干部只有参加公开选拔才能提拔，任何人不得特殊。” 钱国渠说：“士贞，你的想法非常正确，而且也符合今后干部人事制度改革的方向，我也支持你，只是你这样做一定要注意方法，注意市委领导，市委常委的思想。一定要得到主要领导的支持，得到常委的支持。” 吃晚饭时，贾士贞心里还在想着钱部长下午的谈话，本想和卜言羽说说心中的不快，可一直没有机会，偏在这时钱部长和几位副部长过来敬大家的酒，贾士贞一连喝了三杯，也就借此机会向省委组织部的处长们敬酒，酒正喝到高潮时，周一兰打电话来，说她的车子已经在宾馆大门口了，贾士贞便匆匆出了餐厅，上了周一兰的车。 到了办事处，周一兰扶着贾士贞下了车，说：“士贞，你干吗喝这么多酒？” 贾士贞只觉得满脸发热，头昏昏沉沉，周一兰泡了一杯茶，又削了一个苹果，刚吃了两口苹果，觉得要吐，忙找痰盂已经来不及了，便蹲在墙角吐了起来，周一兰慌忙上前扶着他的头。吐过之后，便倒在沙发上，连声说：“对不起，对不起，一兰，让你看笑话了……” 周一兰急忙拿来热毛巾，一边擦着贾士贞的脸一边说：“士贞，你干吗要喝这么多酒，叫我好心痛啊！” 过了一会，周一兰说：“士贞，走，我带你去躺一会，这样会伤身体的！”说着就扶着贾士贞，上了三楼，进了房间，周一兰把贾士贞扶上她的床。周一兰端来一杯水，贾士贞一口气喝了半杯，半躺在床上，紧紧拉着周一兰的手，说：“玲玲，我的好玲玲……” 周一兰深情地伏在贾士贞的怀里，微闭着双眼说：“士贞，你吻吻我，吻吻我……” 贾士贞把嘴唇贴过去，周一兰张开嘴，把舌头伸进贾士贞的嘴里…… 不知过了多久，贾士贞突然睁开双眼，吃惊地看着周一兰，慌慌张张地下了床，惊恐不安地说：“我怎么会到这里了？这是什么地方？” 周一兰含着泪，拉着贾士贞说：“士贞，是我把你带来的，你喝醉了……” 贾士贞一下子清醒了许多，说，“一兰，对不起，我失态了，请你原谅我……” “士贞，我绝没有别的意思。”周一兰说，“我知道，对于你来说，事业是第一位的，我只希望你能对我好……” “一兰，不能！”贾士贞的声音有点沙哑，“我有妻子，有女儿，我不能对不起她们！” “士贞，”周一兰含着泪说，“我太孤独了，也太痛苦了，我想请你帮我生个孩子，我绝不给你造成任何麻烦，也不会让任何人知道的。” “不能！”贾士贞摇着头，果断地说，“万万不能，那样我就成了一个千古罪人，成了一个口是心非的伪君子，我会愧疚一辈子的。” 贾士贞说着已经退到门口，周一兰扑到他的身上，呜呜咽咽地哭了起来。贾士贞搂着她说：“一兰，难道男人和女人就不能成为朋友，非要超越那个界限吗？”周一兰痛苦地搂着贾士贞，不知过了多久，她终于松开手，深情地看着贾士贞，说：“是啊，士贞，我们曾经有过约定，我们应该永远保持纯洁的友谊，做一个真正意义上的朋友，成为相互最信得过的倾诉对象！” 贾士贞努力平静一下自己，说：“一兰，我希望你还是成个家，女人总要有个归宿呀！人生短暂啊！我真心希望你幸福！” 周一兰摇摇头，欲言又止。她没有送他，贾士贞匆匆地下了楼。周一兰久久地站在门里，对着半开着的门，默默地看着贾士贞的背影。 按照省委组织部的安排，第二天上午各市委组织部长和省委组织部的处长分成两组，参加两个市的副处级干部公推公选观摩会。 贾士贞赶到东臾市已是上午十点钟，东臾市的公推公选会场设在市政府大礼堂，主席台上方悬挂着“东臾市公推公选副县处级领导干部大会”的横幅。主席台正中十三名评委已经就位，两旁的嘉宾席上除省委组织部领导，还有部分市委组织部长。台下坐满了市直机关的干部和群众代表二百多人，十三名评委由市委政工副书记一人，市委组织部领导、中层干部三人，市委、市人大、市政府、市政协、市纪委、市人事局、劳动局领导各一人，基层群众代表二人。 公推大会开始时，由市委组织部宣布本次公推候选人情况，根据报名，经资格审查，按照一比三推选候选人，从报名竞聘副县长八十七名中推选六名候选人；从报名竞聘市政府办副主任五十二名同志中推选三名候选人；从四十八名中挑选市劳动局副局长三名候选人，评委阅读候选人材料时间为一小时。 贾士贞反复看着评委名单，按照公推规定，评委对每个岗位投票只能投三个人。比如在推荐二名副县长时，在八十七名候选人中每个评委只能投六人的票。多于六人视为废票。最后按得票多少取前三名进入下一轮竞聘。贾士贞觉得这个办法虽然比过去由领导决定对象是一个很大的进步，但是这样的公推，仍然免不了主观色彩，人为因素仍然很明显。所谓的公推，显然不公。一个县里的乡、镇党委书记、局长和市委组织部的科长在评委的笔下能有同样的分量吗？从评委的构成情况看，大都是市级机关权力部门的领导，基层群众只有二人，明显的不合理。 一小时后，首先进行二名副县长候选人的公推。这时贾士贞走下主席台，在群众中坐下来。人们议论开了，有人说现在的方法好，不像过去提拔干部全由领导和组织部门暗中圈定少数人，考察也是在神秘当中进行，到宣布结果时，群众有意见也没有用。也有人说，虽然现在公推比过去有了很大的进步，但是仍然有不合理的一面，十三名评委，大部分人都是市直机关权力部门的领导，他们的推选不一定真正的“公”。组织部三个评委，就占了三票。 副县长候选人的公推结果很快公布了，第一名是市委组织部的，第二名是市委办的，第三名是市人事局的。县乡里报名的那么多人居然都没有被推上。那么公推的标准是什么呢？既然没有标准，那么只能凭评委们的印象和感觉了。 直到观摩会结束后，贾士贞一直在思考这样的问题。 观摩会结束后，又回到省里。当天晚上，贾士贞接到省人事厅、省委组织部考试中心电话。西臾市委组织部那批招考人员的分数已经出来了，贾士贞随后去了几所高校，落实了答辩专家，便匆匆赶回西臾。 贾士贞回到西臾第一件事便和市教育局长缪斯平、一中杨校长找吴怡宣谈话。给她最后一次机会，然而吴怡宣拒绝检查，而且态度相当不好，贾士贞决定对吴怡宣严肃处理。首先在公布考生分数之前，把吴怡宣帮助考生作弊行为的通报张贴在一中校园和教育局院内，同时把所有作弊考生的名单通报各有关单位。对吴怡宣的纪律处理问题，由市教育局另行通知。吴怡宣看到通报之后，便哭着去找公公周效梁，周效梁当即跑到市委办公大楼大吵大闹，大骂组织部长贾士贞。不知是谁通知了报社和电视台，除了一帮记者外，还引来了许多不明真相的群众，市委秘书长夏季请示市委书记常友连，此时常友连正出差在外，在电话里大发雷霆。夏季让老干部局把周效梁带走，周效梁哪里肯依，兼任老干部局局长的高兴明表面上劝周效梁，暗地里却巴不得周效梁把事闹大，以致市委办公大楼围观者越来越多，市委副书记朱化民一直把自己关在办公室里不出面，夏季只好把市委办工作人员动员起来，劝走了围观的机关干部，好不容易把周效梁带回自己办公室。 贾士贞当然预料到周家一定不肯就此罢休，但他没有想到作为老地委副书记的周效梁会做出如此有失身份的事。贾士贞和缪斯平分手后，直接去了市公安局，鲁晓亮简单汇报了他们解救卫炳乾的情况。自从卫炳乾突然被两个陌生人强行带走，这些天来一直被关在千里之外一个地下室里，直到被解救出来时已经转移了三个地方，看守卫炳乾的三个家伙被抓到两个，其中一个被打伤后逃跑了，现在正在追捕。但那两个被捕家伙拒不交代为什么绑架卫炳乾。卫炳乾在关押期间被打得遍体鳞伤，现在已被送到解放军第九六医院。 听完鲁晓亮的汇报，贾士贞说：“鲁局长，带我去看看卫炳乾同志。” 贾士贞上了鲁晓亮的车子，这时贾士贞手机响了，一接电话，是市委秘书长夏季。 夏季大概讲了周效梁到市委大楼闹事的情况，贾士贞一听，就火了起来，但他还是努力强忍内心的气愤，当贾士贞听说周效梁的目的是要市委常委对他儿媳妇的事做出结论时，贾士贞说：“夏秘书长，这我可当不了家，我要做到的只能把他儿媳帮助考生作弊的录像和吴怡宣亲自为考生写的字条公布于众。让西臾机关干部和群众了解一下事实真相。” 贾士贞挂了电话，鲁晓亮问：“周效梁要干什么？” 贾士贞说：“现在正在市委办公大楼里闹呢？鲁局长，你说这事怎么办？” “怎么办？”鲁晓亮笑笑说，“贾部长，你怕什么，西臾这地方就是怪，虽然盛产新闻，但是绝大部分群众还是非常有正义感的。我敢保证，明天，最多后天，小报上就会有好看的文章的。所以，我说你呀，别理他，看他怎么办，把那张字条以及字迹鉴定结果和那盘录像带多复制几份，让有关领导都看看。” 到了九六医院，鲁晓亮介绍卫炳乾认识了贾士贞，鲁晓亮便说要去看一下医院的院长，就退出去了。贾士贞拉着卫炳乾的手说：“炳乾同志，你受苦了，我代表市委组织部向你表示歉意！” 卫炳乾握着贾士贞的手说：“贾部长，你刚到西臾不几天，我就听到关于你到下臾微服私访的传说，开始我还不相信，消息越来越多，越传越神，后来听到市委组织部公开选拔八名科长的真实消息，我确信你是一位难得的组织部长，是一位真心改革的组织部长，所以我给你写了几封信。” “炳乾同志，你的情况我大体知道了一点，但是我一直不明白他们为什么要这样对待你？”贾士贞说。 “贾部长，我是湖南人，大学毕业被省委组织部选为选调生，到农村锻炼两年后，本该分配到西臾市机关的，后来看到市委组织部招一名公务员的消息，我就报名了，考上了。在我心目中，组织部是一片阳光的地方，人人都是高素质的领导，但是后来我感觉到，我这个外地人遭嫉妒，受孤立。有一次派我去下臾考察干部，在考察时，我发现有一些同志对县委书记乔柏明有意见，但都不敢说，还有一些科级领导干部有帮派嫌疑，回来后向高副部长汇报此事，高副部长批评我刚到组织部工作，不懂组织部门的规矩。他还对我说，在组织部门工作的同志就是按领导的意图办事，领导叫干什么就干什么。叫你去考察干部，那不过是走走形式，你还真的认起真来了。那些被考察的干部都是好同志，成绩很突出，很优秀，你一个办事员凭什么提出不同意见，真是不知天多高，地多厚，在组织部工作连这点规矩都不懂，还想在组织部工作！被批评之后，我的心里一直很纳闷。后来又去下臾考察干部，就是那批还没有提交市委常委会研究的干部，你不知道，那些名单都是少数领导圈定的，下去之前已经定好调子。当时我就发现下臾县一下子居然要提拔八个部委办局局长、主任，四个乡镇党委书记。这显然很不正常，又不是搞批发，而在考察当中，我隐隐感觉到其中有蹊跷，回来后我执笔的那些考察材料没有通过，让我重写。第二次写的材料又没通过，后来的材料到底怎么搞的，我就不知道了。贾部长，你是省委组织部下来的，难道组织部门就是这样选拔、考察、任用干部的吗？有些干部不要说提拔县级副县级，就是判他十年徒刑也不为过。我被批评后，他们知道我太不可靠了，不久就把我调出组织部，理由是工作需要。我万万没有想到组织部也如此卑鄙龌龊，这样的组织部能选拔出好干部来吗？” 贾士贞说：“炳乾同志，组织部也不是真空，比如像黑龙江原省委组织部长韩桂芝，江苏省委组织部长徐国建，贪污腐败，卖官鬻爵。但是他们毕竟是极少数。”贾士贞停了片刻又说，“等你身体恢复之后，我们会重新考虑你的工作问题的，市委组织部需要你这样工作认真负责的同志。” 这时，鲁晓亮来了，贾士贞站起来，握着卫炳乾的手说：“卫炳乾同志，你好好休养，有时间我们再好好谈谈。” “感谢贾部长，谢谢……”卫炳乾激动得含着泪，坚持要下床送贾部长。 出了病房，鲁晓亮说：“贾部长，你是不是要亲自审一审那几个绑架卫炳乾的人？” 贾士贞犹豫一会说：“鲁局长，我是组织部长，不能超越自己的权力去处理问题。绑架案应该由政法部门处理，我相信法律是严肃的。再说了有你鲁局长，我一百个放心。” 此时，贾士贞一直在想着周效梁现在是否还在市委大楼里，他作为一个市委组织部长对待老干部应该是尊重、理解的，可是他绝没有想到周效梁作为一个地厅级领导如此蛮横，如此不讲道理。但是他对于吴怡宣帮助考生作弊的事，从一开始就很恼火，他甚至觉得这种风气不狠狠刹一刹，今后的成人考试还不知是什么样子呢？然而他也在想，只要吴怡宣认识到自己的错误，深刻检讨错误，也是可以谅解的。然而，不仅吴怡宣不认错，还把他告到省委组织部、省教育厅，甚至省委边副书记那里了。现在周效梁还跑到市委闹了起来。现在贾士贞觉得问题发展到有些棘手的地步了。 就在周效梁闹得不可开交的时候，夏季只能做些解释工作。周效梁气得涨红了脸，大有不打倒贾士贞不罢休的样子。后来周森林来了，周森林也觉得父亲闹得太过分了，拉着周效梁说：“爸，您跑到市委来干什么？这点小事，您怎么闹得这么大？你叫我和吴怡宣还怎么见人呀！” 周效梁瞪着眼睛，大声说：“你怕他，他是组织部长，我不怕，他能把我怎么样？他太不识好歹了，组织部长怎么了？” 周森林说：“爸，跟我回家，有话咱回家说，你这样闹下去，只能给吴怡宣加罪呀！” 周效梁终于被儿子劝走了，人们看着这位年过古稀的老人，大家都在摇着头。都在看着这场戏如何收场。 市委机关的干部们都知道周效梁是冲着新来的组织部长贾士贞的，究竟贾士贞是一个什么样的人，人们都在瞪大眼睛关注着他。这对于贾士贞来说，又算得了什么呢？他固执得太有道理了，他并不因为周效梁的无理取闹就取消他对干部人事制度的改革决心。但将在全市乃至全省产生什么样的影响？No one knows.
